As far as we all know, Prince is a non-drinker. Has anyone ever thought, maybe this is why he makes such intelligent music? I'm not saying there's anything wrong with drinking, whether it's a beer or a shot or whatever. But I was thinking, perhaps the fact that he insists on complete, say, clearness of the mind, is a huge contributing factor 2 his focus and brilliance in his art.

So at the risk of sounding silly - if Prince were a drinker (like regularly), how much of an impact would that have on his music?

Or here's a question with a twist - have any Prince songs made anyone driven 2 sobriety?

Actually, he likes a good wine.

It's been said that Prince had a little wine when he recorded How Come U Don't Call Me Anymore?.

I always thought Prince downed a Jack Daniels when he made "Rave"

he has been know to drink a bit here and there... and a person in the know said he has been know to do a drug or two from time to time.

Actually Pasiley2002, I have heard he likes wine and port also ( I belive it is portugees wine). I'm sure he likes to drink every now and then just like anybody but I understand what you are saying. Basically he records music, writes music, ect not under the influence of drugs and how his music is really "focused" and original. I would agree with that. Because I think he is so in tune with his feelings and thoughts that it just produces really interesting work. I'm sure in the abstance of being a drug abuser would only enhance creativity.

I thought he smoked crack.

Well, all I Know is I drink and I particularly like Wine so talking bout Sobriety is a Hoot... I saw a Syrah/Cabernet and a Merlot/Cabernet I wanted to buy...I am loving Boujalouis lately and I'll always go for some great Chianti..Shit..I'm Blasted tonite..Lol.....

Oh that's kind of funny. When i turned 21 I went down to First Avenue one night kinda early w/ my friend and I asked the bartender what I should drink she said "Do you want a girly drink?", I said "yeah' and she gave me a Malibu and Pineapple. It was delicious! I got tanked on those.

It's also fortified.


Back on topic: I think Prince's music might benefit from some 'experimentation' with different recreational substances.
